[Project No. 15285-000]
Ocean Renewable Power Company, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On August 22, 2022, Ocean Renewable Power Company, Inc. filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Western
Passage Tidal Energy Project No. 15285 (project), to be located in the
Western Passage Inlet of the Gulf of Maine, near the City of Eastport,
Washington County, Maine. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) up to five
turbine-generators, including TidGen-80 units and other hydrokinetic
tidal energy devices, with a combined installed capacity of 5
megawatts; (2) a mooring system to anchor each turbine-generator to the
seabed; (3) an approximately 4,200-foot-long bundled submarine data
line and 4.16- to 12.7-kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting the
turbine-generator units to a substation on the shoreline; (5) a 4.16-
to 12.7- kV transmission line that is up to 2,600 feet long that
connects the station on the shoreline to an existing electric
distribution line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated
average annual generation of the Western Passage Project would be up to
7.5 gigawatt-hours. There are no federal lands associated with the
project.
